Our Wonderful Thanksgiving

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday with our family. The time went extremely fast but we are always thankful for the time we get with each other.

The minute Kate met William, she just had to hold him. She is so good with babies.

I, of course, needed some sweet Elle time. Love this little lady.

We kept up with our tradition of participating in the Turkey Trot. This year the older kids got to do the kids run.

Stretching before the run.

Running time.

While the kids waited for their dads to finish the 5 mile run, Gammie kept them busy playing tag.

Off to do some shopping at the bookstore.

Someone was worn out from all the fun. Abby was such a trooper when it came to missing her naps. She is very thankful to have them back.

Breakfast at Gammie and Papa's.

Visiting the cows.

Good ole fashion playtime.

Playing soccer.

Gammie and Papa with all their grandkids. So special!

With three kids, it is hard to find a free hand to take pictures. There were more moments I wish I would have captured but I am thankful for all the ones I got. Watching the kids play together was truly the best.

My Phone is Overloaded with Cuteness

Cute facial expression.

Giving me the pouty face. A face he mastered from the beginning.

His scared face.

And my most favorite baby thing is the baby stretch.

There is another little lady in our house that loves gymnastics. It has become her favorite Friday activity.

Fabulous Helpers

With kids, especially a newborn, it is hard to get much done. Thankfully, I have some great helpers.

Sneaky Girl

Abby loves to hide in the pantry. One day she was hiding for awhile and when I checked on her I figured out what was keeping her busy, eating raisins.

Happy 1 Month William Matthew

Well I think that was the fastest month of my life. William sure keeps us busy. He spends his days eating, sleeping, and being the cutest little guy. We are totally blessed to have him.

Little tidbits about our little man

-He is absolutely in love with Andy. If he is ever unhappy, I can just hand him over to Andy and he immediately calms down.

-The master of getting out of a swaddle.

-Does pretty good at sleeping at night. Usually gives one big stretch.

-Is loved by his sisters. They always want to be around him and help out with him.

-Stares at us with his beautiful blue eyes and sometimes will throw in a smile to melt our hearts even more.

My sleepy baby.

Hey mom, I can't control my head.

Loves looking at the light.

I am so in love with William! He brings so much joy and happiness to our family.

Pumpkin Patch

Right before Halloween, we made our annual trip out to Sweet Berry Farms for their pumpkin patch. It was a great time to go because we went on a Monday afternoon. We pretty much had the place to ourselves and the kids loved all the activities and it was great that they did not have to wait in line for anything.

My adorable girls.

A sibling pic. I was not about to wake my sleeping baby for a picture.

Freedom to run.

Abby loved the huge flowers.

Where Will spent most of his day.

Barrel train ride. A fan favorite.

Another favorite, the hayride.

Emma loved this little tractor but she some how manage to take the steering wheel off.
